After Ariel and Cedric’s wedding venue was tragically destroyed in the California wildfires, the two decided to plan a dreamy France destination wedding that incorporated traditions and culture of the location. Staying true to her Californian roots and style, Ariel looked absolutely breathtaking in a Willow by Watters gown that moved effortlessly from the couple’s stunning portraits by Dani Purington to their rad dance party! We are also loving the simple, yet glamours floral design by Etamines Fleurs, and can’t wait for you to see all of the amazing details from this France destination wedding—including a totally awesome Champagne saber by the groom!

Ariel & Cedric
The Wedding:
Private Residence, Plonéour-Lanvern, France
In November 2018, we learned that our venue had been destroyed by the fires that ravished Malibu. We were heartbroken, both for our future wedding plans and for the owners of the property who we had come to adore. When that happened, all I could think was, I don’t think I can plan another wedding in California. We decided, let’s do something completely different. Cedric’s family has a stone manor from the 12th century in Northwestern France in a region called Brittany. He had traveled there often as a child and I had visited it once with him when we were in college.
